Since 1924 Macy's department store has

presented the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

 

Macy's was founded by Rowland Hussey Macy who moved from Massachusetts to New York City in 1858 and established a store named "R. H. Macy & Co." The store's logo is a red star, which comes from a tattoo that Macy got as a teenager when he worked on a Nantucket whaling ship.
